The best restaurants in Poole South West

This was a great wetherspoons, service was good and everything arrived quickly. The food was tasty. We would return... however, there are very irritating beeping noises coming from the kitchen that seem to be ignored by staff. Avoid sitting near it, it drove us a bit mad after a while :/

A long running rumour has it that The Quay is closing. Not very busy and no atmosphere this visit. Most of the real ale pumps were off. The Quay was our favourite Poole 'spoon and is in a great location. We hope it doesn't close.

The meals seem to be getting worse, The main staff don't listen to what you order, All there on about is selling meal that they get wrong, I use to use them 3- 4 times a week, Now I only use once, I don't recommend because of ther inexperriounce. If they don't care what's the use of buying from them Sorry I have to give a bad rating, Don't use this firm, Not vary good only interested in taking money, Bad customer service,I will try once again, Then I will not bother ordering, Even my pals agree, It's going down hill, The best way to lose costom.

Don’t bother. Save your money. Possibly the worst take-away I’ve ever had. Complained via e-mail and phone but I was wasting my time. Even my dog didn’t want it! Such a shame because the lads behind the counter were so polite and helpful to customers- if only their food was as good.

So-so disappointed, we went there as it was a friend’s birthday and had pizzas but they were as tough as old boots, the knives would not cut through the base, when I tackled the waitress she said it was the way we cook them! I’m 75 so had many pizzas in my time and this is way down my list. The sweet course was nice but at £9 + the slice of cheesecake is the smallest I ever seen and they didn’t even give you a fork so had to use my finger to get it on the spoon. What a let down for a high class area!!!!

After a long day decided to buy some pizzas, we were received with a smile even was late. Lovely food and get for us the best deal.

Ordered a takeaway at 6.45 for delivery at 8.15... 8.45 still no food. Called and was told it would be at least another half an hour, so at least 2 and a half hours from order time!!!No discount offered, no notification that it would be late-very late. If I could've cancelled and got something else quicker I would've. Very disappointed with the service,and customer service.

I recently had an extraordinary dining experience at the restaurant Amalfi in the Sandbanks Hotel, highlighted by exceptional food and top-notch service. Kitty, who served our food, was incredibly friendly and made us feel like treasured guests. Luke, the bartender, was absolutely lovely, crafting drinks with a personal touch that elevated our evening. Rachel, also behind the bar, was very friendly and chatty, adding a delightful warmth to the atmosphere. This restaurant truly excels in both its cuisine and its hospitality. Highly recommend for an unforgettable night out!

I've been coming here for many years. During covid I used to love coming here for a cold drink and something to eat after a bike ride around Broadstone and Wimborne. A friend and I came for dinner after not coming back for around 2-3 years. We used to love the garlic pizette but this time it didn't really feel the same as before. It wasn't garlicy at all. In fact it was just a dough pizza with a spot of cheese on half the pizza. The seafood and chorizo linguine was nice and filling, and my friend loved her lamb shank.

Delivery was great and service polite would deffinitley recommend

Awful. The service was absolutely terrible. Their chips are not cooked in hot enough oil and are soggy, sense and very greasy. Dont tell them though. Even nicely. You'll be met with nothing but smug sarcasm and told that you're being dishonest. I explained they were a little greasy. They replied "our chips aren't greasy, we drain them." I explained that I prefer them a bit crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They replied "if they're crunchy on the outside and fluffy inside then they are French fries." "All chip shop ships are soggy" which of course isnt true. If you explained that you've had them somewhere they will tell you to go there instead then. And if you leave them constructive feedback, they just reply sarcastically "thankyou for your kind words." Bunch of short Bob Karen's with attitude to match. I wouldn't touch the place with a wrecking ball.

Service was quick and friendly. Food left a little to be desired, the bacon was particularly unappealing.

Nice people, good service, and delicious food. Highly recommend. Thanks T and Muslim 👍

Food was cold, and my triple cheeseburger was missing ALL of the extras I added: Extra pickles, onions, mustard & ketchup.

Ordered a large cheese dip and the pot was only a third full. Ie the size of a small pot. The taco was wet and completely collapsed as a result. Overall not pleasant
